10. The burgeoning budget deficit of the US government.
The US government continues to spend money like a drunken sailor w/ the budget deficit widening to $1.9 trillion. This is occurring when the economy is still in an expansion with the Unemployment Rate at a 54-year low of 3.4%. What happens to the deficit when a recession hits? pic.twitter.com/yQK7HOICa9

12. But what’s US Big Pharma been up to? ?
US pharmaceutical companies charge Americans more than anyone else. They report generating the bulk of the revenue in the US.

15. How long does it take for core inflation to ease to normal levels? 2 years apparently, according to this chart.
Friendly reminder that core inflation doesn't typically ease to normal levels in a matter of months. It takes two years on average for core inflation to halve following a cycle peak. Note that half would not even get us to the Fed’s mandate, but that is a story for another day. pic.twitter.com/NAo7sPAblW

16. Is the US inflation shock over?
We've banged the US disinflation drum since last summer. Today's April CPI looks very benign & follows similarly benign March data. Our preferred measure of core services inflation (blue) is down to historically normal levels. The US inflation shock is over. With @JonathanPingle pic.twitter.com/sKUQJijNqe
